T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRED E. WooD, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of San er, in the county of Fresno and State of alifornia, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Kits for Plateof thekit.

Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the end provided with the slide.

In the present embodiment of the invention, the lmproved kit consists ofa frame composed of side members 5 and end members 6 and 7, the saidframe being of a size beveled on that edge adjacent .to the opening ofthe frame. Both the end member 6 at its inner edge and the plate 10 haverounded notches or recesses 11 to permit the insertion of the finger orthumb to remove the kit. A slide 12 is arranged at the end of the frameadjacent to the plate 7, the said slide being movable on the plate 7within limits.

Corner pieces 13 are secured to the kit frame on the opposite face fromthe plate 7, the said corner pieces being countersunk, and a pin 14extends from each corner piece to the plate 7. These pins pass throughtransverse slots 15 in the slide 12, providing thus a slidableconnection for the slide with the frame.

In use, the kit is inserted in the plate holder by placing that endprovided with the slide against the spring pressed piece carried-byplate holders. The kit frame is pressed toward this movable piece and atthe same time pushed into the plate holder frame. It will be noticedthat the inner edge of the slide 12 is beveled, and to insert the dryplate one end thereof is placed against the slide beneath the bevel, andthe plate-is pushed longitudinally until the other end will slip beneaththe bevel'of the end piece 6, the said piece being also beveled on itsinner edge.

It will be evident that the kits may be made of dimensions to suit anysize of plate holder and they may be of any width to provide for varioussizes of plates. With several kits of different dimensions a singleplate holder may be utilized for plates of any size smaller than thosefor which the plate holder is intended.

I claim A kit for plate holders comprising a frame having one endthereof slidably connected with the body of the frame to be pressed
